Description

Experience - The Area....

Less than a 5 minute walk down the hill to the safe sandy beach at Porth, this recently upgraded 19th century mid terrace stone cottage is ideal for family holidays and within easy reach of all the activities that Newquay has to offer about a mile away. The South West Coast Path and the large sandy beach offering easy access and safe bathing at Porth are just 300 yards down the hill with a pub just a little further.

Newquay's local shops, pubs and restaurants are a 10 minute walk and the resort centre with a wider selection of amenities including a Zoo, Sea Life Aquarium and cinema is about a 30 minute walk away or one mile by car. There are several other beaches in the Newquay area within easy reach including Watergate Bay (home to Jamie Oliver's Fifteen Restaurant), Lusty Glaze, Tolcarne and Fistral, to name but a few.Golf, horse riding and ten pin bowling are all available nearby as is coarse fishing at Porth Reservoir and there is a local bus service operating to Newquay, Watergate Bay, Mawgan Porth and Padstow.

Offering a comfortable and well equipped home from home at any time of the year with gas central heating and an open fire, Cockle Cottage is set on the North Coast of Cornwall yet still in a central position perfect as a touring base for exploring the whole county.

Stay - The Accommodation...

Approached from the parking area where there is space for two cars, one in a lockable garage, a pedestrian gate and a dozen open sided steps lead down through the landscaped garden to the entrance at the rear. A half glazed door opens to a modern fully fitted kitchen with a quarry tiled floor, smart dining suite, additional breakfast bar and patio doors to the front courtyard providing a short cut to the beach.

At the rear, an inner hallway gives access to the warm and cosy sitting room with a high painted beam ceiling and sumptuous lounge seating facing the brick fireplace with open fire. Carpeted stairs lead up from the hall to the first floor landing where there is a fully tiled bathroom W.C. with hand basin and shower over the bath and two delightful bedrooms in a fresh crisp decor. The master bedroom has a 5ft king-size bed, dual aspect windows and a couple of easy chairs in one corner for reading, relaxing and watching television, and the second bedroom has twin beds.

To the rear of the property is a fully enclosed terraced garden with a sheltered paved patio and raised gravel terrace with garden furniture.

Guestbook

We love this cottage, great location, parking and most of all comfort for us and our dog. We keep coming back and have lost count how may times we have, and will keep coming back to this homely retreat. - Mr A Paxton

"Excellent location. Very clean. Dog friendly." Miss S Clutterbuck

"Very comfortable and well equipped cottage" Mrs E Edwards

"Cockle cottage is absolutely charming. Comfortable, clean, with bags of character and a very friendly, helpful owner. " Mrs L Sparks

"My most memorable experience during my holiday in Cockle Cottage, was being able to step outside the front door, and walk two minutes down the road in the evening to walk the dogs along the beach. The dogs enjoyed exploring the rocks and pools and discarded sandcastles on the spotlessly clean beach, and as it was getting dark, we strolled back to the cottage, where the heating had been on for an hour and the cottage was warm, and cosy, and we sank into the comfortable corner sofa and had a nightcap, before going up to bed and looking forward to an excellent night's sleep into the luxurious king size bed. Perfect!" Mrs S Walker

"Great cosy cottage. Comfy beds. Loved being so close to Porth Beach. 1 minute to get there with a very excited dog. Dogs able to go on beach before 9am and after 7pm. We walked to Newquay a few times, easy 20 minute walk. Very helpful owner." Mrs C Green

"The cottage is located just steps from Porth Beach. This is the second time we have stayed at Cockle Cottage and our plan is to return every year. We found a new little restaurant Gwenna just around the corner and had many English breakfasts and teas. We walked everywhere and loved all of the beaches with every one having something different to offer; caves to explore, little kiosks offering drinks and yummy snacks and above all the warm and friendly people of Newquay. Its our new home from home. Thank you for making our holiday so memorable." Mr & Mrs G Read

"Layout and facilities at the property were good and the beds very comfortable. " Mr C Beech

"The cottage was everything we wanted, we loved the open fire. The furnishings were excellent, very comfortable bed. The location was brilliant. We met Verity, the Owner who we found to be extremely nice." Mr T Soanes
